Manage Your Law Practice Like a PRO - It's Easier Than You Think...
Law Firm Management on Squidoo - by LawyerBillingTips.com
Every solo practitioner (solo attorney) knows that venturing out on your own and running your own law practice is no cakewalk...
There's no more job security. No one's going to send clients (or work) your way. You have to pay office expenses, hire (and manage) employees - and most of all, bring in enough of the green stuff so that you can actually spend some time with your family and reach your financial goals.
It can be a HUGE pay cut - for a while...
And it ain't easy. It takes a lot of hard work, persistence and unfortunately, patience while your practice builds momentum.
It's not for everyone. Not only do you have to put your years of law school training to the ultimate test - you also literally have to become an overnight entrepreneur. (And, no, they DON'T teach that in law school...)
However...
A successful law firm is one of the most profitable and affluent business models in existence. Not only can it make you a respectable fortune - being a successful lawyer enables you to create lasting changes in the lives of your clients - and in your community.
Few careers can create fortunes. Fewer still can create a legacy. A successful law firm business does both...
This lens will point you to some of the best resources on the web that will help you truly succeed at the practice of law.
It's time to take your legal practice to a whole new level of success - and profitability.
It's time to make it rain...

How To Predict a Lawyer's Success...
There's a distinct, yet subtle difference between lawyers that experience great success and lawyers who only attain mediocre results...
A Lawyer's Success Is Determined In Advance on an Individual Level
In other words, the successful lawyers are where they are today because of a willful choice to be successful "yesterday".
(Stay with me...)
But, simply "wanting" to succeed isn't enough. Everyone wants to succeed - sure, that goes without saying. Nobody "wants" to be mediocre, or to fall short of their ideal picture of being successful. But only a few actually succeed.
Why?
Well, this is where that subtle, yet profound difference comes into play...

An Easy Way to Save Money, Eliminate Client-Billing Hassles & Attract More Clients...
This simple "strategy" has been a secret weapon for hundreds of solo and small firm attorneys.
And often, this has nothing to do with how much legal work they're getting.
It actually has to do with how they handle their payments - and their clients with unpaid balances.
But there's an easy way to combat this problem, and it's becoming more and more popular with solo practitioners on a consistent basis.
Smart Lawyers Accept Credit Cards
Why?
Because credit card payments aren't just convenient - they're also the best way to get rid of those dusty old (profit-stealing) "accounts receivable" that have been piling up over the months.
They also prevent the awkward situation where lawyers become both advocates AND creditors. The smart lawyer lets "VISA" be the creditor to his client, while he can focus all of his energies on the case at hand.
And that's just where the benefits begin.
Take a look at this real-life example of an Orlando attorney that takes control of his billing procedures and accounts receivable by accepting credit cards. The results are mind-blowing...
